Profile

I completed my PhD in Health Psychology at Aberystwyth University whilst working for the R&D department at Hywel Dda University Health Board. My work used self-determination theory to understand motivations to self-manage COPD and evaluated digital films to improve health.

I joined the University of ��«Ӱҵ in 2019 as a Research Associate to help develop and evaluate a digital healthcare service called Telehealth in Motor Neuron Disease (or TiM for short) in two specialist centres.

I am now a permanent Research Fellow, expanding the TiM project to fourteen specialist MND centres in the UK and international partners in Ireland, whilst also developing a research-specific version of TiM. I also support other health service projects that implement and evaluate digital services.

Research interests

My research interests are any health service project from early development stages through to evaluation and implementation. This is primarily in MND, however, I have experience across a broad range of long-term conditions, such as COPD and musculoskeletal conditions. I have a special interest in digital and remote interventions and how these can complement existing, traditional healthcare services. I use a broad range of methodologies, including quantitative surveys, qualitative interviews, focus groups, and observations, and process evaluations.

I am also interested in other health psychology projects that use motivational theory to understand health behaviours and how this can support healthcare service development.

Teaching activities: My main teaching interests relate to mixed methods and their use in the healthcare domain. I am also interested in supporting PhD students and early career researchers develop and understand how to apply for NHS ethics and write funding applications.

Professional activities and memberships: I am a member of Chris McDermott’s Better Outcomes in MND research group. I also support various work packages within the UK MND Research Institute and the digital health working group within ENCALS.
